meta brainstorm thing

i'm thinking about writing a 24 page narrative poem
about a family of incestuous demigods tossing up leaves

and fucking with the alignment of the moon

before i begin, i will sacrifice a foal
for inspiration

i've been trying to write poetry made up of clean sentences
that are also somehow broken

using a style i came up with about 6 months ago
which mixes clean/plain sentences that are not at all

poetic

originally i thought of William Carlos Williams but
William Carlos Williams is dead

it's too late in the season to go walking in the woods

i came up with the idea for this piece sometime last year
but originally i was thinking of making it a novella

i have this image of people with glowing skin sitting on a hill
using their fingers to carve patterns in the light

except eventually the light will start to die

the other idea was a thing about "the ocean of life" inspired by a conversation
i had with a professor years ago about a novel joyce never wrote

a few minutes ago i did another fragments that talked about bosnia and being eaten by rats

but i don't think i'm going to post it quite yet
